Pirate Catcher in the Rye

Haiyuan calendar year 1512.

Many major events have happened at sea this year, the most eye-catching of which is naturally the newly established King Shichibukai of the World Government.

They are the seven great pirates recognized and privileged by the world government. They have catastrophic destructive power and huge combat power that rivals the country.

As soon as this strange organization appeared on the scene, it became one of the three major forces alongside the Yonko and the Navy Headquarters!

Of course, there is no Yonko in the current new world, and there are still four years until the last red-haired Shanks becomes the Yonko.

But on the surface, the Shichibukai are already equal to the three great pirates of the New World!

the other side,

In Germa's training room, Hawkins was breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

"What a stupid grandson. It took him five years to learn Armament Haki. It only took me less than a year."

Boyce swore shamelessly.

Of course, he was extremely shocked at this time. You must know that Hawkins was only 21 years old at this time.

Being able to master armed Haki at such an age is very rare even in the new world where there are so many strong men!

"Whoosh~"

"Indeed...my physical talent is a bit lacking, and I didn't expect it would take so long!"

Hawkins said breathlessly, but there was a smile of relief on his face.

Now, he has to admit that in terms of physical talent, he is indeed far behind some of the supernovas of the same period!

You know, he has been exercising in a planned way and conducting phased training since he was less than one year old.

Especially after the age of six, with the ability of the straw fruit, he can transfer the damage caused by training to other people.

Especially in the past few years, Du Q, a doctor with superb medical skills, has helped him regulate his body.

In addition to his own physical limitations, he can already practice crazily and unscrupulously!

However, even with such a huge advantage, he has only barely mastered Armament Haki today!

Maybe this is the difference between a warrior and a mage. No wonder Hawkins was so vulnerable after being approached by Kira.

But this life is different. Whether it is long-range or close range, Hawkins must do it without any flaws!

There is still a long way to go.

His current weapon color can barely cover one arm, and cannot fully cover his body and weapons.

What's more, there will be an advanced use of armed color Haki - Liu Ying!

"Damn, this damn body!"

Thinking of this, Hawkins was a little angry. When the Straw Hat boy was 19 years old, it only took him a few days to learn to play Sakura.

In the two battles, he learned the power of seeing and hearing and the power of overlord to predict the future respectively.

All of this process took less than a month in total!

If Armed Color Haki still requires physical talent, then the progress of Wisdom Color Haki is somewhat unsatisfactory.

In order to practice his domineering power, he had been blind for five years!

Moreover, divination requires mental energy. After learning divination for so many years, his mental strength and will are no weaker than those of Straw Hat.

This is what makes him most aggrieved!

The conditions are more superior, the foundation of spirit and will is also the same, and he has practiced for so many years more than the other party, but it turns out to be useless.

"Fight, keep fighting..."

"Just competing with Brent and the others is meaningless at all. There must be stronger opponents and greater pressure!"

"Doflamingo should be leaving soon. Before leaving, let me personally give you a 'farewell'!"

Uh?

Seeing Hawkins talking to himself with a dissatisfied look on his face, Boyce suddenly felt his heart cramping.

You are already so strong, but you are still not satisfied. I was just talking casually, should I be so serious?

No wonder I have to be liked!

...

hall,

Time passed slowly, and in the magnificent hall, Hawkins sat on the comfortable sofa and waited quietly.

Just now, he had ordered the guards to summon the cadres.

I believe it's not just him, other people have also been lonely for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't run out every few days.

It's a pity that although the North Sea can no longer bring them too much pressure, Hawkins has no idea of ​​​​going to sea immediately!

Before he is strong enough, he must follow the path of destiny, step by step.

And it doesn't make much sense to go to sea now. The entire sea has basically stabilized, and the performance of the supernovas in recent years has been unsatisfactory.

Shoot the first bird!

If he is the only one who stirs up trouble, he will definitely become the focus of the navy and the emperors of the New World.

In other words, the possibility of group destruction is greater!

"Alas, there are too many people with nothing to do when they are full. Without anyone to help attract firepower, even with divination, it is not safe!" Hawkins shook his head, still feeling very confident.

It's not like there haven't been particularly outstanding pirates in recent years, but most of them were killed before they had time to shine.

Among them, the most famous ones include "Big Barrel" Basque Choate, "King of Evil" Barçaro Pizarro and "Crescent Moon Hunter" Caterina Depon, etc.

These people were all elites in the middle period of the Great Pirate Era, but without exception, they were all imprisoned in Impel Down City.

If it hadn't been for Blackbeard later on, they might have ended their lives in Impel Down.

Because of this, there will be such a big gap in the future. Apart from Doflamingo and his group of early pirates, only the Evil Generation is the most active.

'Fire Fist' Ace was lucky and protected by Whitebeard, otherwise he would have been in jail long ago.

Of course, the possibility of being killed by several other emperors is equally high!

Therefore, unless a considerable number of high-quality newcomers emerge in the same period and grow rapidly through this wave, failure is more likely.

This sea is so unfriendly to newcomers!

"Hehe, what is Uncle Hawkins thinking?"

At this moment, Reijiu was seen walking over holding a child of about two years old.

The child had fine blond hair and big, lively eyes. What stood out was his face, which was bruised and swollen all over.

Despite this, he neither cried nor fussed, and still had an eager expression on his face, full of fighting spirit.

"Were you beaten by those boys again, Davion?" Hawkins shook his head helplessly and took the child from Reiju.

He couldn't remember how many times it was. Although he was so many years younger and did not have superhuman physique, Davion always liked to compete with Iji and the others.

Those naughty kids are the shadow of Sanji's childhood. Isn't it good to be alive?

"Because they said they would teach dad a lesson when they grow up. If I didn't tell them to grow up, they would beat me!"

Hearing Hawkins' reproachful tone, Davion, who was originally stubborn, bit his lip, his face full of grievances, and tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid when they grow up. When they grow up, my Davion will also grow up. You are the little hero of our Kingdom of Lubnir!"

"really?

"Of course it's true. Then fight back and let them know how powerful you are!"
